PM sent for mod instructions
nice :p
can i have the mod kit..or mod instructions..thanks :)
Any one here kind enough to tell me what ohm the resistor next to the one that has to be removed is? that would be resistor nr 6. thanks in advance.
I'm in the middle of modding it right now...I hope I don't kill it.
Please do me a favour and measure ohm on the resistor next to the one you remove. thanksQuote:

hardmod for x58 xtreme pls :)
Finally got it! I really was worried I killed for a bit.
So far I have only got to 225 without it locking up, but I am just happy to be booting up again at this point.
Using F8 final bios
http://i588.photobucket.com/albums/s...g?t=1250827241
ditchmagnet only F8 BIOS without hardmod?
F8 final WITH hardmod (my crappy version of it anyways)
Keep pushing, glad to see you finally got it buddy!!
Higher IOH then you are used to may be needed for high Blck, at least that's what I find. I have no clue how others get high Blck's with stock or little IOH, I seem to always need it.
You can use any BIOS you like, you just will have to use SetFSB to change the PCIE inside windows if you do not use the Fxx versions.
I might switch to F7 till I get a fan controller as F8 just runs my fans at full speed
Try the latest Beta instead I think that is fixed now.
I find PCIE 106-110 to be best myself
Man, is this "mod" a "state secret" or what??? Those that have done it, where did you get the pics/info from, besides Hicoockie?? Or is he the ONLY source for this info??
you answered ya own question there...
can i have the hardmod instructions/pics....PM.....pls
Same here. :DQuote:

To those that still need the mod, it IS in the thread, you just need to search 4 it very hard.Quote:

Look harder and more outside the box, the documentation IS posted here in this thread. It's just not obvious as a link or anything, but think along those lines
Qflash or SPIFlash will read any extension, you can name it .F132 if you like. The x just notes that it is a special BIOS for something particular is all.
And just so you know, you need the F9x for UD4P not the F8x
Thnx, am searching now....
WOOT!!! Found it, little hinting helped!!! Now, about that mod bios........
Just use the most recent bios at tweaktown, the special bios just has pcie freq unlocked, thats all. Use setfsb and do it all in windows. just look at the pics in this thread for what clock gen to use...and be ready to sacrifice you board.Quote:

Yes, special Fxx BIOS versions are needed ONLY to allow you to set PCIE freq in the BIOS higher than 103, you can just use SetFSB in in windows to change the PCIE with any BIOS.
So it is wise to use the latest BIOS and just do that
I made it to the 230's! really stuck at this point though...I am thinking I will have to wait till winter for some cold air and try again.

Hey cookie :) can i please get the mod instructions for the UD5 please :D
cheers :)
sent, and for all guys do this soldering mod, i suggest you prepare 2 ironsQuote:

cheers, got the instructions :) ive got SMD irons but for these little guys i usually opt for a nice width tip that can heat both ends at the same time :)
then that will be much better:DQuote:

How to make mod pci-e???
read this thread !
That's exactly what I'm saying - I have read this thread, until my eyes are ready to bleed (already have an eye infection, anyways... salve in 'em, four times a day!) and I just am not seeing it! Tell me this - is it somewhere in hicookie's first post??? EEEKKK!
See page 4, think "Fire" and see the link..... Then think hard and outside the box
That's about as good of a hint as I can offer
lol :rolleyes:
Uhh ohh! :shocked:
Hopefully you intended that Pyro whether intentionally or not, otherwise all hints may be null and void now :D
:ROTF: 'Fire' indeed - the funniest part, LSD, is that I finally found it about two minutes before your post! I thought "geez, that's awfully deeply nested to just be a 'file hosting thingie'... Hmm..." Thanks all, now I gotta find a bunch of suckers to send to the first post so I can enjoy the fun...
Bill
hehe was a fun mod :)
just fired the board back up and it still works, i can set the PCI-E to 106 or whatever now no problems, still hardlocked in Linx at 219 BCLK though :( guess i need to keep playing and see what i come up with :)
hopefully i got a good connection with the resistor, so hard to tell with those tiny solder points... but i imagine it wouldn't post if it didn't connect anyway?
Hi all.
I Need help.
The MoBo is not started if temperature below 27 degrees.
Who can make BIOS which on 25 degrees will shift temperature of NB?
It is necessary to receive at 27 degrees 50.
It to make really?
hicookie i sent you a pm but can you please send me theQuote:

thanks hicookie , you rock ! :up:
Just wanted to give a thank you to Hicookie, got my ud5 modded & getting some nice overclocks & better benching. Finally getting extreme enough I don't feel too slow for this site...
Man, I wish that I knew someone that could do this hardmod for me.. I wouldn't even dare to attempt soldering something as small as those resistors.. :(
I can hardly see them, nevermind solder them!
pm sent:)Quote:

A quick question, would there be anyway of just using wiring and a hot glue gun to attach the wire to the solder points on the board then soldering the resistor to the actual wire?
Just trying to think of a more 'safe' way of doing it for next time.
Thanks for the e-mail hicookie ;)
I was wondering, could you just solder another resistor into the space, or do you have to move the one from the board?
i got mine off fine, but lost it in solder or something. I still managed to get 231 bclk now though with the new bios and pcie at just 115 :up:Quote:

So you lost the resistor, and you still manage to break the 222 Bclk wall and raise PCIe clock higher than 103MHz without any problem???Quote:

I am not sure about Hot glue, I think that would not work. But you can solder wires then attach a resistor. I have seen it done here >>Quote:

It could be any 1K ohm resistor, I found many 0402 exact ones on eBay if you wanted a exact replacement, but I think any would do if you connect it properly as seen in the above linkQuote:

Apparently my board has been sent overseas to Gigabyte according to the place I purchased it from...
Would you know anyone that works in the RMA section hicookie that could be able to repair at my cost?
Hi all.
hicookie, can you send me PM hard mod instructions/pics for the Ex58 Extreme
thanks
sorry for my bad english
Hope you guys don't mind me jumping in here.......
Bear with me this is my first few hours on an i7 rig....this is the max I can pull on stock cooler.
Modding board tommorow.
I noticed someone mentioned PCI E frequency? this is 104 PCI E.....no mod.....you have to boot 100 then reboot 101 then reboot......baby steps. No diff then my AMD giga ;)
here's a couple before mod shots.

good work
very nicely done for your first session on new gear :up:
hey dinos22
do you have the pci mod? :D chew and i need em :D
you'll need to ask hicookie
he's the man heh
I just got an email from Gigabyte about my board.
$80 to fix
:D
Cannot wait to get it back!!!
Thanks for the PM to you know who :)
MOTHER FUKCER...those are so fukcking small..
hey [200] was that done in gigabyte usa?
hello guys!
I have problem with oc-ing my UD5, i7 920 D0 + TRUE, both lapped and OCZ 3x1GB 1600MHz Intel XMP LV.
There's no way to push bclk above 200MHz, no matter what i do. it just freezes at post screen or it won't boot at all. i crossflashed ud5 with EXm bios from page 4, but no luck, same problem. when i set pcie clock 105 or higher it also won't post with "6F" message on diag. gpu is ga 8800gts 512MB and psu ga odin pro 800w :)
PS I know my english sucks
Giga Au. They still don't know where my board is though...Quote:

it possible the cpu itself,Quote:

High IOH voltage can help push things as well demios, so try 1.3-1.4+ and see what you can get.
But as hicookie said it may be your CPU, if you can't do 222 without the mod then the mod wont really help. You need a good CPU to start with, before you even need to mod things
tnx guys, but no luck. 1.3v+ for IOH results in no post, or freezing the screen in win when using ET6
it looks like cpu has bclk wall :( so I'll ask my friend to bring me his D0 which works fine on 215 bclk on MSI x58 Pro E
but strange thing is that i owned C0 rev of cpu + also UD5 (not the same sample) and had the same problem. 200MHz works like a charm, but anything above...
My MoBo work 226 & 102 pci-e
228 & 103 pci-e
i swapped ud5 and d0 for ud3r rev 1.6 and another D0, and solved my problems, for now stable bclk is 225, pcie 103, me happy :)
Hello friends is a pleasure to share with you much I love this forum I now have X58 platform. But I'm stuck with bclk I failed to overcome the barrier of 222. Via air and reaches the ceiling, I'm ready to get started with extreme cooling with dry ice, I'm studying such as Isola besides plaque components using

Just ordered the UD3R and superbiiz confirmed all they have is revision 1.6 boards.
So, will I gain anything from the special BIOS posted earlier, or will the normal get me around 230BCLK?

This mod would work on UD3R?Quote:

(PM sent to hicookie)......does this hard mod work on ex58-ud3r "rev 1.0" my board wont stay stable above 200mhz bclk...i have a 920 D0
I guess superbiiz are liars. It came and is rev 1.0, and not only that, the box is beat up. Looks used, or at the very least, a refurb or returned.
Its revision 1, but Im able to set PCIe all the way up to 150?Quote:

http://pic.ipicture.ru/uploads/091018/1VxnSv5ORV.jpg
Many thanks, really work. Today has made it, 238 on the bus mother could take, before only 228 and all.
Is that the same mod for the UD3R revision 1?
hicookie please check your PM. thanks
Is that mod possible without any risks, I mean for normal using the board after benching?
Does it influence anything?
Is anybody here, who could explain the mod?
Sure. But what do you mean with explain? I think the above images speak for themself :shrug:
How did you push the solder out and how in?
